Yippeee! It is finally time for the Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette collection from Tickled Pink Stamps to be released! And in honor of that the design team has a blog hop for you. Here are the details:
Start: June 13, 2011
Finish: June 16, 2011
Winners announced : June 17, 2011
I am the last stop on the tour so if you came from Bron's blog, you are on the right track! If not, go back to the beginning with the lovely and talented Amy to make sure you don't miss a thing! When you're done, pop over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog and leave a comment. You know that for Kellie it's not a release unless there are prizes and commenting is how you become eligible for those fabulous goodies! Comments are always welcome on the design team members' blogs as well.... Show them some love when you can! The TPS store is currently down for maintenance, but it will be back up in a couple of days with the Lil Tom Boyz Pinkettes available for purchase as both rubber and digis! June has been declared "Digi Month" at Tickled Pink Stamps so you have until the end of the month to buy all your favorite TPS images as downloads for some instant gratification!
For my release day project I chose Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette Worker August. This is a Father's Day card that I like to call "Like Father, Like Daughter". I used some cork and also a paint swatch which I pilfered from my local Lowe's Home Improvement store. It was hard not to "girlie" it up with bling and flowers and such, but since it's for a dad I showed some restraint to keep it as masculine looking as I could.
Thanks for stopping by.... Happy Hopping! XX

Welcome to day three of Tickled Pink Stamps' Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette previews... Today we have sweet August for you! She is too busy wood-working to be worried about playing house! Look at the pencil tucked into her hair? Isn't she just darling? As you can tell, I do have a particular fondness for this Pinkette. Maybe it's because her name is my birth month. Or perhaps she reminds me of my younger self. And though I'm not skilled with hammer, nail or saw, I do use tools of a different sort to create when I'm crafting.
You will want to make sure to get over to the TPS blog to check out all the other preview creations from the amazing Pink and Pinkette ladies! As always, Kellie has a fabulous giveaway and all you have to do it leave a comment over there to be eligible.
For my card, I started with SSSC120 from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge as my base design. I've had the paper in my stash for a while now and knew it was perfect. It was interesting trying to create a "pretty" card that wasn't overly "girlie". The measuring tape ribbon I snagged from one of the chain craft stores that I frequent (there are 3 in my area, all of which I can hit on the way from work to home. Dangerous! lol). Somewhere along the way I decided that real sandpaper would be a fantastic idea so I used my Classic Circle Nesties to cut them from a Tim Holtz refill for his sanding block. A few flowers, a little bit of lace and a touch of bling later and I was done.
As always, thanks for looking! I hope you will leave a comment so I know you have visited. I do love and appreciate each and every one of them! I hope you enjoy your day.... It's going to be a hot one here with temperatures in the 90s (and they are saying it could reach 100 tomorrow! Not typical for New England in June.). Some people like this weather, but I'll be enjoying the AC, thank you! :) Until next time... Happy crafting!

I am pleased as punch to be back with Day Two of Tickled Pink Stamps' Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette preview. Today we are showcasing rough and tumble, cutie patootie Faith. She'd rather play in the mud than play with make-up. There are six images total in this release, and trust me when I say you aren't going to want to miss any of them! Kellie at TPS and artist Stephanie Corfee have really outdone themselves!
My layout is based on SS-158 from Sketch Saturday. I printed off a vintage recipe card that I found on-line and layered it with Red Riding Hood and Very Vanilla card stock for the layer behind my image. I thought Faith would want to share her recipe for Mud Piez with you! :) And the little wooden rolling pin was a Michaels purchase picked up with this card in mind.
Be sure to visit the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what wonderful creations the rest of the design team has cooked up with Faith... And leave a comment there for a chance to win Faith for yourself!
Thanks for taking a peek! Have a wonderful day!

Oh, BOY, am I excited!!! "Why" you ask... Well, the answer to that question is two part. First, I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen as one of the design team members for the new Pinkette design team at Tickled Pink Stamps!!! I was over the moon when I found out and my excitement has not abated as we prepare for a blog hop and a new release on June 12th here (June 13th in Australia, where TPS is located). You can view the announcement about the new design team here. I am honored for the opportunity to work with the talented ladies who are my teammates! Be sure to visit them as well, with love and congratulations!
The other reason for my excitement is the fabulous images that I get to play with! Just wait until you see them all and you will understand! And I am beyond happy to be able to share them with you... Today is preview #1, and it gives me pleasure to introduce to you a new Pinkette collection called Tom Boyz. This for all those girls out there who would rather muddy it up in the sand box than play with a doll. Here we have Coraline; she has decided her play time will involve rounding up some bugs. Isn't she adorable? I've had that lady bug paper in my stash for a few months and knew as soon as I saw her that I was going to have to use it! My sketch is based on SSS111 from The Sweet Stop.
Of course, you'll want to pop on over to the TPS blog to see the rest of the design team members' marvelous creations! And be sure to stop back throughout the week as I am hoping to have a new sneak peek for you each day as we countdown to the release.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope your day is fabulous!
